IMPROVEMENT IN CHIMNEY OR GLOBE HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,47 8, dated August 5, 1873; application filed May 13, 1873.

tion.

Our invention relates to an improvement in the method of securing globes or lamp-chimneys to their galleries.

Inthe drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of our invention as detached from its gallery. Fig. 2 represent the operation of our invention as securing the globe or chimney, and Fig. 3 the same as releasing the globe or chimney.

Said invention consists as follows: The ordinary gallery A is provided with two stationary retainers, B. The sliding retainer 0, as shown in detail at Fig. 1, when brought against the stationary retainers B, leaves the gallery A virtually provided with but two retainers, andin this condition the globe or chimney may easily be removed or adjusted,

and, when adjusted, may be firmly secured by sliding the movable retainer (1 a suitable distance away from the stationary retainer B.

We are aware that galleries of lamps have been provided with sliding clamps or retainers for the chimney or globe, but necessitating in their application the provision of a slot or some further change in the gallery-frame.

The object of my invention is to provide a clamp for the globe or chimney so constructed that it may be attached to any of the open-ring galleries now in use without altering any of the parts as now constructed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The lamp-chimney or globe securer, consistin g of a single metallic clip embracing the gallery-frame, so constructed, substantially as described, that without alteration of the parts it may be attached to any open-ring gallery.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 10th day of RUFUS WRIGHT. JAMES H. RAGE.
